Reasons To Buy Travel Insurance Part One

It's an added expense and it's already worrying you how fast these costs for your annual holiday are rocketing. You feel that you need to cut some corners somewhere to make sure the kids can have all the fun you want them to have and that the wife and you can enjoy an evening in the restaurant without wondering whether you can afford a second bottle of wine.

But it's absolutely vital that Travel Insurance is NOT one of the corners you cut - and here are some timely reminders why.....

Cancellation

Circumstances can change. Illness, work, a posting (if you're in the forces, see our earlier article HERE) or, sadly, a death in the family are just a small handful of reasons why you may not be able to even start on your long planned break. You may have lost your holiday - but you won't have lost your money....

Curtailement

You may get to where you're going only to find that you can't stay due to some of the circumstances mentioned above, but with a comprehensive policy you should be able to regain the cost of the missed portion of vacation. Again, holiday lost - but not the money.

Medical 

Ok, so you have your EHIC card in Europe (see previous article HERE), but you're unwell and you're definitely going to need more help than an EHIC card will provide, and you'll certainly have problems securing medical attention if you're elsewhere in the world. Again, with a comprehensive Travel Policy your medical bills, medicines and even repatriation to the UK will be covered. Air Ambulances can cost between £15,000 and £40,000 depending where you are, so it's very easy to see how these costs can mount.
